GRIZZLY LUNCH EVENT – AND LISTEN OUT ON TALKSPORT!

In a cricket career spanning nearly 30 years, Chris Adams has enjoyed some unforgettable moments – early successes at Derbyshire, an unforgettably brutal Test debut, recognition as Sussex’s greatest captain, triumph as Surrey coach – as well as some hard times.

This Wednesday, 28 October, ‘Grizzly’ will be appearing at a special lunch at Sussex CCC’s County Ground. Members and supporters are invited to Hove to enjoy a delicious two-course lunch and to hear some of the highlights from guest speaker Chris’s acclaimed new book.

This Thursday, 29 October: If you can’t make the Hove lunch date with Chris, be sure and tune into the Hawksbee & Jacobs Show on talkSPORT – the world’s biggest sports radio station – during your lunchbreak. Chris will be joining Paul and Alan on air at around 1.40pm.

Ups and downs at The Oval. How, in the space of 12 months, Surrey went from double trophy winners to a team in turmoil having to cope with the loss of one of our own

My great debt of gratitude to the county where it all started – Derbyshire – and how the county missed the opportunity to create a successful dynasty of their own

My blueprint for the future of the game in England – and the part I’d like to play…
